What Hacker News says
4 sourcesstoically, the maintainer and creator of this extension unfortunately passed in early 2023. There's a new fork available[0], linked from github[1].
I briefly discussed this extension and how to proceed after the passing of a maintainer with Mozilla staff in their Extensions and People teams at FOSDEM this year, but there was no real procedures in place at the time of our chat.

In Firefox expands fingerprint protectionsIf you haven't seen it, there's also https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/temporary-con... (https://github.com/stoically/temporary-containers MIT) when you don't care about the containers but do care that their browsing context is isolated. The screenshot even shows the handy "delete temporary container 15 minutes after the last tab closes")
Actually, sorry, it seems to be https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/temporary-con... and https://github.com/GodKratos/temporary-containers) based solely on the language present in the add-on and commit history
